KeContact P20 (c-series) Wallboxes. A load management with different profiles can be realised with the KeContact M10. Only KEBA approved devices (Wallboxes) may be connected to the closed KeContact LAN. The correct use of the devices in all cases includes observing the ambient conditions for which the devices are developed.
Important information 1.3 About this manual This manual is valid for KeContact Load Management System Solution For whom is this manual? This manual is intended for use by qualified personnel . These are persons with the relevant technical knowledge appropriate to the operations they are required to perform. ...
System Overview 2 System Overview Charging multiple electric vehicles simultaneously, may exceed the capacity of the existing power connec- tion. To avoid an overload, simultaneous charging of multiple vehicles or at least the capacity of the individu- al vehicles must be managed and limited. This requires a solution that protects the grid from overload using smart load balancing and load scheduling and provides an efficient energy profile for each individual EV (electric vehicle).
The items listed below are not all included in the standard delivery (for details please see chapter "Scope of delivery"). KeContact M10 The KeContact M10 is an industrial PC developed by KEBA AG. For more details please see “Kemro KeContact M10 Project Engineering manual”. KeContact M10...

System configuration information 3 System configuration information 3.1 General statement Purpose of the load management software Cost-effective allocation of the available or allowed capacity (e.g. charging at night with low rates) Load balancing Optimized power distribution over several vehicles ...
System configuration information Load Management The Load Management of the KeContact M10 distributes the available power line capacity to the connected vehicles. “First come, first serve” mode The vehicle gets the information of the available energy amount till the scheduled departure of the car via an ISO 15118 message.
System configuration information 3.1.2 Value for limitation of the power grid A key value for the load management system is the total maximum available current (amps) of the power grid. This value represents the maximum power which can be supplied from the grid due to wiring and fuses. Additionally the maximum total current can be reduced in dependence of time and day.
System configuration information 3.1.3 Current allocation on multiple vehicles The allocation of quotas follows the FIFO principle (First-in-First out), the charging current quotas for Mode 3 charging and ISO charging will be considered separately. Section ISO charging If the total charging current of the EVs in the ISO charging group exceeds the limit, a new added vehicle (in the example "ISO4") will not be charged immediately.
System configuration information 3.2 Software architecture The KeContact M10 system contains the following main software components. Load Manager: The load manager has the following responsibilities: Controls and coordinates charging sessions for several vehicles on the separate charging stations (PDCs). ...
Hardware installation 4 Hardware installation 4.1 Common power line The Wallboxes must be connected to one common power line with protective devices, otherwise the KeCon- tact M10 is not able to perform a correct load management according to the maximum available current. A clustering of Wallboxes is not permitted! Be aware that each wallbox has to be secured by an individual RCD.
Network Membership Key’s (NMKs) If the NMKs of the vehicles are different, PLC blocking filters are not required! The NMK of a vehicle can be changed with the “KEBA - EV Connection Assistant” software that can be downloaded from www.kecontact.com.
Hardware installation 4.3 Ethernet wiring For details about installing and connecting the components, please refer to the individual compo- nent manuals (KeContact P20 Installation manual, Installation manual of your Ethernet switch and patch panel).
